Bed Tailgate Stowable Collapsable Extender Kit Compatible with 2015-2021 Ford F-150 Replace# FL3Z-99286A40-C, FL3Z99286A40C

Well- here ya go! I traded in my 2014 F150 for a newbie (2025 STX) and was blown away by the price of the the OEM folding extender ($800+) which i just cant live without. Found this knock off for $229 on Amazon so took the dive!Product is perfectly fine but install is different than previous truck due to the aluminum body change (lack of threaded female)- there's just a hole in aluminum body. Had a couple ideas and here's what worked:I had a bedliner so after I removed the tail lights (need to do) I drilled a small pilot hole from inside the tail light well through the center of the hole where the installation bolt for the extender fits. Then took a thin piece of wood (1/4") and slipped it between the bedliner and the body. Then used a 5/8" forsner bit in the pilot hole to drill out the hole for the bolt in the proper location. Now the trick- to get the extender to secure properly I used a 10mm x 1.5mm lockout threaded on "backwards" because the rounded top of the nut threaded backwards seats nicely in the hole in the aluminum. NOTE: you'll need to run the nut on the bolt backwards a couple times BEFORE attempting the final install otherwise it's impossible to get it started backwards when in the tail light well.You'll need a T50 torx bit (Amazon for $6), a 17mm deep well sock and 2 of the lock nuts mentioned above.I did NOT worry about the "push to secure" locks that would require more fiddling around as I never used those in 11 years on my old truck!UR WELCOME!!!! ;-)

Works perfect. The same as the factory unit costing 3x as much. Only thing is you need to get washers and nuts for the bolts if the factory threaded inserts are not there. Pop the tail light out and can get in there for nut and lock washer.

Good product, no instructions but easy to figure out wood buy again

This fits perfectly on a 2023 F150. Only items that will be required (that are not included) are two (2) M10-1.5 metric lock nuts and washers.If you have bed liner (Line-X), you will need to scrape the liner off of the interior of the plug holes.

A must-have for truck owners seeking enhanced functionality. It's a reliable, space-saving solution that makes transporting large items a breeze. Though slightly pricey, the durability and convenience make it a worthwhile investment for those serious about optimizing their truck bed space.Pros:- Stowable Design: Easily collapses for convenient storage.- Extends Bed Capacity: Maximizes hauling space when needed.- Durable Build: Robust materials ensure long-lasting use.- Easy Installation: User-friendly setup, no hassle.- Versatile Compatibility: Fits various truck models.Cons:- Limited Height Extension: Could benefit from a higher adjustable option.- Pricey: A bit on the higher side, but the quality justifies it.

This is great. There are no directions. You’d hope it would be intuitive, but it’s not. I hammered it like a cave man.

Had to make adjustments buy additional bolts and nuts to accommodate. Made it fit.

Works well once you tap out the bed column.
